In 2020, while the pandemic was underway, I was tackling personal battles—grief from the sudden loss of my grandfather and my first “proper” heartbreak. I channeled all this emotional energy into creating a brief bootleg brand of soft textiles, including t-shirts, caps, tote bags, home furnishings, and more. The brand was entirely gender-fluid and began as an operation with a “pay what you can” service, alongside swaps for items. I aimed to inspire community in a time when we physically could not be with our loved ones. All the items I created were inspired by folklores, outsider artists, and witty wordplay. “DILLY” is now on hiatus due to various barriers, but it will one day return. Keep your eyes peeled!
A variety of 'DILLY' products were released from 2020 to 2024.
